Myrcia sensu lato, Calyptranthes section, Cerrado, Paranã, TocantinsAbstract
Apresentamos uma nova espécie de Myrcia seção Calyptranthes, Myrcia fariae P.O.Rosa & Proença, endêmica de uma microrregião no estado do Tocantins, Brasil, acompanhada de sua diagnose, descrição, ilustração científica, distribuição geográfica e análise de estado de conservação. Além da nova espécie, apresentamos também a consolidação da distribuição geográfica de Myrcia calderonii (Standl.) A.R.Lourenço & Sánchez-Cháv. no Brasil, uma disjunção significativa na distribuição apoiada por análises morfológicas e moleculares.
